Lawrence isn't doing anything that hasn't been done before, and he's certainly not doing it any better.

squarely aimed at the type of audience willing to overlook all sorts of inconsistencies and stereotypes in a movie as long as it includes a few juicy toilet jokes.

O sonho de Martin Lawrence ser Eddie Murphy. Infelizmente, porm, lhe faltam duas coisas: o talento do dolo e a capacidade de atrair bons roteiros.

The movie has no audacity or verve; it's all recycled toilet jokes, cheap sentiment, and caricatures.

Big Momma lacks the guts and the wits to go for anything but cheap laughs.
